Feb 12, 2007 On tap at Biergarden, Portsmouth VA. As I’d expected, a very "Belgian" visual ... hazy yellow with a big airy, foam topping. This drank extremely smoothly with a definite alcohol-spice kick, a bit of a dirty orange peel aspect, wonderfully complex, yeasty, bready, grassy, barky, with a quite bitter finish. Excited to read the description of this as a cross with American Imperial IPAs, because it all makes sense now! (#2694, 2/10/2007)

Jul 7, 2006 Big bottle consumed over two days. Even the second day it was fresh and maintained a Duvel-like massive head. Cloudy dark yellow. The hop trio combines with yeast for a unique aroma that spans the ocean. The marriage of Tripel and IIPA works to create a delicious hoppy beverage. Very aggressive hop flavour in a golden drinkable liquid. Lingering grapefruit finish with a trace of medicine.

Apr 2, 2006 Cloudy yellow with a decent sized, puffy head. Aroma is spicy with pepper, clove and banana. Flavors seem to be a strange mix but they somehow blend together pretty nicely. Really balanced and tasty.

Apr 24, 2006 The aroma can only be described as zesty and spicy. Nice delicate floral hop arragements lie softly in the background. Hazy apricot coloring, subtle fruitiness of pears and apples. Huge rocky white head with super sticky clingy lace. This is a really beautiful beer. Spicy with a bit of zing as the hops slap you in the face and fade away slowly melting into a sweet buttered biscuit maltiness that melts in your mouth.

Apr 28, 2006 Pours a beautiful hazy straw like color with a small white head. An array of aromas in the nose consisting of lemon, grapefruit, banana, grass, yeast, and if I take the time I’m certain to find something else. Well balanced, creamy, and smooth. Hop flavors consisting of grapefruit, banana, yeast, and spice are dominant throughout and in the finish, however they don’t overwhelm. An incredible beer.

Mar 23, 2007 [Bottle. Akkurat, Stockholm]
Hazy pale yelow colour. Huge head.Grape, citrus from hops, also vanilla in aroma. Alcohol was also sensed in aroma. Sweetish malty as always with d’Achouffe, accompanied by a herbal, bitter sensation from the hops. Very interesting how 59 IBU can make such a difference in a Belgian beer.

Aug 2, 2006 Bottle at Akkurat, Stockholm. Pours out in lively golden appearance with a huge white head. Extremely pleasant hop aroma of lemon-rind, orange-peels, grass, pine-apples, wormwood and white pepper. Flavour starts pretty sweet of pine-apples, Royal Gala apples and oranges but strong grassy, peppery and slightly herbal hops takes over pretty quickly. Long spicy, peery and grassy bitter finish with esterty undertones. Better than Urthel Hop It. Damn good!

Dec 6, 2006 750 mL Bottle - Strw colored cloudy body with a thick, thick viscous cloudy white head. Aroma is similar to a farmhouse ale. Fruity and Yeasty aroma. An incredibly well balanced beer with fruit, grass and a bit tart in the finish. An excellent beer.
